It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

If you believe the reported earnings of 100million per year and how could we comply with FFP, each day this drags on saves us 275k per day. Every penny counts!

Some light relief :-)

Just spitballing, but I can still see us paying a very minimal amount.

£30m plus Garcia. £48m directly to Messi to buy out his final year.

For the purposes of our books, a £30m transfer.

Sorry for my ignorance - why would we have to pay them anything if we’re also paying Messi to buy out his contract?

Surely Barca wouldn’t accept that kind of deal regardless

Hopefully the video is released today, can't wait too see it. Time for Messi to play a card, so far it's Barca controlling the entire narrative.

Just spitballing

Don’t go all Carragher on us

At this moment Messi says he’s right and Barca say they are, so not sure what evidence there is?
Hence the stalemate.
What the chairman says in a video and what is written into a contract are 2 different things.

The answer is in what Messi has done so you think he would sent that fax if there was any doubt about the contract! Look at his career form character and his personality while at Barcelona, he ain’t no fool.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Because at the minute Barca are saying €700m or it doesn’t happen, just don’t see it getting done for €100m if Barca still believe he his under contract.
It’s just down to who’s right and who’s wrong and that’s where the stalemate seems to be.

Barca aren't going to pay him £98m in wages and image rights for another 12 months when they know they can't even ask for that as a transfer fee with ten months left on his deal.

Even more so, when the player refuses to play or just fulfills his training obligations. Barca don't have a leg to stand on.

 

[I'm Blue]

But the alternative is they pay him 170 mil for poisoning the dressing room.

If it went to court, what value do you think they would put, on a 33 year old in the last year of his contract ?

No idea, but everything I’ve read about that knobhead in charge at Barca says he’s a stubborn fucker and will dig his heels in even if he’s in wrong, so I don’t expect him to make it easy.
All boils down to who’s right and who’s wrong, time will tell.

Got to get there share price up somehow

In response to a poster saying we will still have to part with £100m. Was just a smoke and mirrors way of paying the £100m.
